My name is Isabella Molfetta , I am 4 years old and I was diagnosed with JDM on 5/5/06. I live in Ohio with my Mommy , my Daddy , my 2 sisters and 2 brothers. I take weekly methotrexate shots , along with prednisone, folic acid & prevacid daily. It has been hard having JDM but my Mommy & Daddy tell me I am a very brave girl ! I ask my Mommy why I have JDM and she tells me that I am very special and that God has a very important plan for me .I love to play with my brothers , my sisters, cousins & friends . My favorite thing to play is dress up, because I am a princess !...But the best thing ever is being a new BIG SISTER !!!
